My daughter just went to a Drag(on) party (sp???):
literally a pre-wedding party for two guys (and there was a stage drag theater contest).
My questions (being an old guy trying to fit into a new world)
1. Is it husband and wife or husband and husband (wife and wife for lesbians)?
2. Why do people do drag? and why don't they dress that way all the time if they like doing it so much?
3. I knew a 'flaming homo' in Toronto (did not know him well enough to ask questions like this): why do some guys act straight and some so feminine to outright flaming in yo' face?
Will probably remember some other questions later... does anyone have a primer?
Honestly asking.... this is all new to the guy who grew up (small town) saying "Ha...you're a homo!" without really knowing what that meant (when told about a 'circle jerk' i wondered why a bunch of guys would want to do that while thinking about women, lol).
Let the flaming begin!
**A side thought:
In the future there WILL be sex bots:
.....there will also be 'child sex bots' (and will/can child sex bots be made illegal?)... thinking about this is kind of disturbing, but i know it IS coming, sooner or later.
Will something like that take care of a pedo's needs or lead to something worse?
If you had a fully functioning sex-bot that looks/feels real with wonderful AI, would you consider never having a relationship (such as marriage) again or just stick with sex-bot?
If my wife died and i had a bot/AI that was acceptable, i might just stick with it, methinks.
Damn, my mind is going tonight!

Huh...Musta been on vacation then!
Yeah, for me, sex bots will be interesting when, as you say, strong AI comes into its own: aka, when it can replace a person fairly well... Like conversing with a better Siri/Mycroft (mines Kaylee): good conversation about what I want to talk about, get information I want, whatever, then Giggity!
Until then, yeah: flesh light.
Thanks for all the info...still figuring things out. Watched some of Ru Paul's drag race with my wife, but still a lot of questions (like 'tuck' it WHERE???)
As for child sex bots: no, restricting/banning them would be like banning vibrators. If no kids are hurt in manufacturing them (unlike child porn) I don't see a problem...safe outlet for needs.

This could be completely wrong... But after I saw Silence of the Lambs (which has a scene featuring a transvestite who struts 'naked' yet seems to have no penis/balls) as a teen, my father overheard me wondering how the killer 'hid' his genitals and informed me, "he tucked them between his legs."
